What could $1 million and change get you in Vancouver these days?

A one-bedroom apartment, apparently.

Six Vancouver condos are currently listed on MLS with an asking price of more than $1 million.

The cheapest of the bunch is a two-level penthouse on Beatty Street in the Crosstown neighbourhood listed for $1,048,000.

Located in a century-old converted building, the one-bedroom, one-bath unit is spread out over two floors, with a spiral staircase, plenty of brick walls and exposed beams and a large roof deck.

Considering the apartment measures more than 1,400 square feet, the place is practically a bargain.

Over on Hornby Street, a one-bedroom unit at the boutique developement Artemisia is going for $1,090,000.

The 1,400-square-foot home spans two floors and boasts a high-end kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, cabinetry, and a larger master suite. Bonus: The unit has two bathrooms, so you don’t have to share your ensuite with guests.

In the West End, another one-bedroom, two-bathroom unit with expansive views of English Bay is listed for $1,150,000. The eighth-floor 1,100 square-foot apartment, in the 50-year-old Ocean Towers building on Morton Avenue, has been renovated with a custom built-in entertainment centre, automatic blinds, and lighting controls, said the listing. It also has a custom built-in Murphy bed.

Rounding up the million-dollar one-bedroom club are three units from the Private Residences at the Hotel Georgia, the gleaming 48-storey skyscraper next to the beautifully-restored Hotel Georgia.

Two of the units are one-bedroom plus dens, slightly over 1,000 square feet, with one bathroom each.

One unit on the 17th floor is described as having a mahogany veneer entry door, custom cabinetry and a spa-like bathroom. The price tag is a cool $1,195,000.

Another unit on the 15th floor, priced at $1,288,000, is the priciest one-bedroom condo currently listed in Vancouver. It boasts a “$140,000 Milson technology package upgrade” that lets the owners enjoy full-home automation, motorized blinds, and blackout shades amid other luxuries such as oak flooring and a Carrara-marble bath.

The third listing at the Private Residences is billed as a “rare find” with “magnificent views of the ocean and the North Shore mountains.” The one-bedroom, one-bath unit on the 36th floor is priced at $1,198,000.

There are few details about the home’s interior in the description. But aside from the stellar views, buyers might not get as much bang for their buck with this property, as it’s only 685 square feet.

“Some one-bedroom units are quite large and in the most desirable locations, and as a result they’re considered luxury properties and appeal to the well-heeled client.”

But Muir pointed out that the vast majority of condos remain an affordable alternative for homebuyers. “I would caution that you’re talking about a handful of (million-dollar) units,” he said. “It’s not an indication of what the market is, writ large.”

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s benchmark price in August for an apartment was $379,200.

According to Sotheby’s International, Vancouver will continue seeing a strong demand for $1-million homes, whether they’re detached homes, townhouses, or boxes in the sky.

Sales of those homes increased to 1,664 units from January to June this year, a 34-per-cent jump compared to the same period last year.

Demand is fuelled by low interest rates, high consumer confidence, and favourable economic conditions, said Sotheby’s in its forecast report released Thursday.
